Ridge Preservation / Socket Preservation

In an attempt to avoid unsightly/significant bone width and height deterioration following an extraction, a bone graft is immediately placed in the tooth socket area. In order to save the supporting bone present around the tooth extraction, Dr. Schlueter will carefully manage the extraction and immediately place a bone graft material into the socket and the residual area, along with a barrier/membrane over the grafted area. This prevents bone loss and provides a better cosmetic outcome for tooth replacement.
